XFree86 supports the dynamic loading of drivers for external
input devices using the XInput
extension. Currently supported
devices are:
xf86Jstk.so
)xf86Wacom.so
)xf86Summa.so
)xf86Elo.so
)To use a specific device, add the line
load
"
module"
in the Module section of XF86Config
, where module is
the name of the .so
file corresponding to your device.
You also need to set up a XInput section in XF86Config
.
Refer to the XF86Config(5) man page for detailed
configuration instructions.
You can then change the device used to drive the X pointer with the xsetpointer(1) command.
For joystick support, you'll need to install the joystick device driver in the kernel. It is included in NetBSD 1.2 and OpenBSD. See joy(4) for details.
